And what a transformation the last couple of weeks have been. Had Jan tune it and all I can say is WOW! She runs strong. After installing the powerflex control arm bushings, front sway bar bushings, Ireland camber plates and rear sway bar the handling is awesome. I can't stop now. The slope is very slippery I'm thinking I would like the polished coolant tank to dress up the engine compartment even more. Anyone have one and if so, where did you get it? Never thought I could have this much fun at 54

Glad you are having a great time with the GP. You sure have some great roads near you, in the Santa Monica Mountains, to exercise the GP.

 

What'd you end up putting down?

Talk to Jan, he makes a nice coolant tank!

 

Here's the chart. It might be my imagination but right after the tune it didn't feel all that much stronger. 250 miles later it seems like the car has adapted or learned the tune and its come alive.

I got one made by Canton Racing from Summit Racing. I like it, looks great and performs well so far. I saw Jan's at MOTD and it looks great as well.

if we didn't need the larger size of the Countryman(dogs !), we would have tried getting our hands on a GP. Awesome car.....congrats!

 

That Countryman is a great MINI. Wouldn't mind having one for sure. Would be great for the dogs and the bicycles.

We have to "settle" for a JCW to get the most performance possible from the "family four door"

 

Thanks for posting, I haven't had my GP tuned yet, but I've been wondering what Jan could do with a mostly stock GP.

 

All mine had before the tune was an madness cone air filter and the Vibra upper motor mount. It's as fast as this drivers ability Maybe now with the suspension upgrades my ability will improve a little.

Settle? I love the looks of that unit.

Those are some pretty nasty torque numbers. Congrats.

 

Nice numbers out of a stock car with tune!

You neeeeeeeed to get a cam/header....as you know I was 231whp/195ft-lbs on that same dyno...really brings the car to a whole new level....how it should have been

 

It's all I can handle at this point
